This phase is an early introduction to the world, the story, and the core platform concepts. It is designed to be small, intentional, and experimental, giving you a chance to explore Afyniti at its very beginning. *** ### Access and Capacity Alpha access is **invite-only** and limited. * Maximum Alpha capacity is **500 participants** * Entry is available only via **referral link** * Each referral link can be used by **up to two people** * There is no public sign-up This keeps the Alpha close-knit and manageable while systems are tested and refined. *** ### What the Alpha Includes During Alpha, you can: * Create an account * Connect supported social accounts * Complete **social quests** * Earn XP from onboarding and social activity * Progress through early unlock thresholds There are **no on-chain quests** during Alpha, and no interaction with blockchain activity is required or supported at this stage. *** ### Alpha-Exclusive Equipment The main focus of the Alpha is **exclusive equipment unlocks**. By completing onboarding steps and social quests, you can earn enough XP to unlock a set of **Alpha-only items**. These items are part of the early Afyniti story and will **never be made available again** after Alpha. #### What makes these items different * A total of **three equipment pieces** are planned for Alpha * The first item is [**Mystic Eyes**](/codex/lore/equipment/alpha-equipment/mystic-eyes.md) * Each [item](/codex/lore/equipment/enterprises.md) unlocks at a defined XP threshold * All items are **limited by Alpha capacity** * If all Alpha participants unlock an item, the maximum possible supply is **500** These items are designed to make early characters visually distinct and historically unique within the future worlds. *** ### About NFTs and On-Chain Status During Alpha: * Items are unlocked as **digital collectibles** * They are intended to represent NFTs * **They may or may not be deployed on-chain in the future** There is **no guarantee** that Alpha items will ever exist on-chain, be transferable, or be supported on a specific network. If Afyniti progresses beyond Alpha and later integrates with a network, early items may be carried forward, but this is **not guaranteed**. Alpha participation should be understood as **early access and experimentation**, not a promise of future utility. *** ### What Alpha Is (and Is Not) Alpha **is**: * An introduction to the Afyniti story and world * A chance to explore early pre-season systems and progression * A way to unlock historically unique items * A small testing phase Alpha **is not**: * A full season * A live ecosystem launch * An on-chain experience * A guarantee of future rewards, value, or access Progress made during Alpha may change, reset, or be adapted as the platform evolves. *** ### Looking Ahead: Beta (Indicative Only) After Alpha, Afyniti may move into a **Beta phase**. Beta is expected to: * Increase access capacity * Introduce a broader whitelist * Potentially include a first live ecosystem or partner * Offer additional unique gear tied to early participation Details for Beta will be shared only when confirmed. Alpha participation does not guarantee Beta access. *** ### A Final Note on Expectations There are **no guarantees** associated with XP earned, items unlocked, or future outcomes during Alpha. Everything in this phase should be treated as experimental and subject to change. If you enjoy early systems, story-driven platforms, and being present at the start of something new, Alpha is designed for you. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
